Death Of DR., McFerrin,

Rev. John Berry McFerrin, D
D., was born in Rutherford county,
Tenn, June Is, 1907, and died ST
I2:55 o'clock, Tuesday morning,
May 10, 1887. He held every place
in his church up t. bishop. Hi
was the Sturdiest christian charac
ter perhaps in the south and be left
an impression On the world thai
will never cease being effective foI
good. He was pastor of tue Puias
XII church about half century ago
and be was known to all Methodists,
high and low, in remotest places
and lad done more hard and etfec
live work for his church, his people
and his God than any other mau OF
the times. He was greater man
than Beecher, not as subtle and
polished in oratorical finish per
haps, but greater like his Master il
going about doing good" The
Methodist church has many great
men ard his place will be ably fill
ed, but the strongest and richest
link in the chain that linked the
church in Tennessee to the grand
old days of its glory and power i.
broken. He was an old time NJ tn
odist preacher who could shou
with the weakest or preach with th'
bralniest, and he lived to grea
purpose in keeping the cburcl
{ own in the latter days of new
ideas and cold theories to the old
fashioned doctrines and practice;
that obtained in the days when re
Iigion burnt upon her affairs like ;
live coal.

On by E!kmont yesterday making a
preliminary search for railroad
route. He started from Gallatin
and came by Lewisburg to Corners

fork the road and build one

from the incorpo: ators at Florence

They have a route by Prospect
straight to Fayetteville also in view,
and they want to SO to work.
There are parties in Pulaski who
seriously contemplate going to
work at building a road. The char
ter has been in TIE CITIZEN office
some time, unexecnted.
The Interstate commerce bill
holds things in limbo. Until its ef
feet and scope are determined and
discounted no roads will be built
In the meantime, it is we'll enough
to keep up the talk.

DR.. c. c. Alternately never be
lieved that trephining was necessa-
ry in the case of Mr.. +. d. Aymett
and he carried him to Nashville
last week to consult with eminent
physicians there. They corrohora
ted his theory and recommended
the operation already contemplated.
The trouble was caused by the
bruised flesh and mutilated blood
vessels pressing upon the nerves OF
The temple and the sensibility was
so painfully acute that the slightest
touch would throw HIM into con-
vulsions even while under chloro
form. DR.. Alternately, assisted by
Drs. Wilson and Aymett, last Sat
urday made a large horse shoe
shaped incision in his temple and
carefully disaected the flap to the
bone and turned it up, and took
measures to excite supuration in
healing. Tue instant Mr.. Aymett
became conscious he said, "Tm s
cured man." and he at once began
to use the arm and leg that had
been almost paralyzed as freely as
he ever did. The severing Of the
nerves released them of communi-
cation with the bruised parts and
relief was instantaneous. Dr.
| Briggs performed this operation
during the war merely to examine
the skull of a wounded man aud
was surprised to find it relieved
the patient. DR.. Abern athy thinks

BY MON,

We hear that the disease called
pinkeye is killing horses in adjoin-
neighborhoods north of US. We
haven't as yet had any epidemic
disease among stock this year, but
our people have lost several valua-
BILE brood mares. Dan Eslick, Ben
Eslick, Jack Collins and A. NJ.
Ezell have each lost a brood mare
Ezel's was the best work nag he
owned. Mrs. Newton had a horse
to break his leg recently.
Cut worms have done great
deal of damage-not even onions
escape them.
The little corn crop at our house
had been plowed over, now we are
blowing it under and planting Sec
ond time-grass lot that was too
hard to break in fall. Farmers
need not plant clover or grass land
broken in spring until May unless
they get it planted so early in
March that it will get the start of
the worms. Perhaps 1t is better
for us that we have reverses, mis-
fortunes, etc, in this life.
The fruit crop is not half what
we anticipated a few weeks ago.
The pike is having some pretty
good repairing done of late. The
company has bought a mule and
wagon and hired a man whose wife
appears to be faithful toll gath
erer. Hope the road will ere long
give general satisfaction. We re-
peat what we have before said,
"This will be tbs easiest of all the

The yonng people had a picnic
on the river bank last week and
had quite nice time. Several
from distance were present. Miss
Blanche Rawls and Miss Hortense
Rhodes of Blanche were present,
and also Miss Minnie Moilitt, Miss
Charlie McLaurine and Miss Madee
Edmiston from the other side of the
river. The picnic was given in
honor Of Miss Ina Robins of Cor
nersville who has just closed her
school at this place. She will leave
for her home on Wednesday. We
feel sorry for the Elktou boys. also
for some that don't live in EIkton
The most of the patrons of the
school at this place were present
last Friday at the close of the
school and were well pleased with
the school. We have said it once
before and now repeat il, our school
has been better attended this ses
sion than any in the district.
Miss Robins moth er, father and

Next Saturday is the day. Col.
Ben NJ. Hord, commissioner of ag-
riculture, THE CITIZEN is assured
will certainly be here, and he de-
sires to meet as many farmers as
possible. He has something to say
to them. He has been chosen to
take charge Of the public interests
of the farmers of Tennessee and he
ought to have the co operation OF
every one of them. Come and hear
him.
The recent rains have made
straw berries very fine. The show
Saturday will doubtless be the best
we ever had. Mr.. L. 0. Alternately,
president of the association, has
charge of the program, and is par
ticularly solicicous to have every
farmer bring an exhibit.
Other small fruits will be eXhib
led, although strawberries is the
chief exhibit. Bring other fruits
and vegetables that are in season
and let the tables show full list of
May products. If every farmer and
his wife will take little trouble to
select nice specimen of few diff
ferent fruits and vegetables, it will
be an astonishingly beautiful DIS
play.
ooh, we'll; l haven't got anything
very extra. | guess I'll not take
anything-I recon other people will
lake enough" That is the way you
talk and you leave it to a few men
to keep up such things.
Wouldn't it be best to co operate
and make a big show before tn
commissioner next Saturday? 1t
will be day both pleasantly ana
pr, fitably spent. Bring your wives
and daughters-and your dinner.

past week. BY some chance she got
on the railroad and at the approach
of train she ran on to the railroad
bridge across Robinson creek which
has no floor but the crossties. She
succeeded in getting half way
across where she fell beside the
track. Three heavy freight trains
passed her while she lay there.
She was then rescued and let down
with ropes to the water below, a

is now all right.

A Remarkable Case of Fasting.

lC Ob1lC w uCCls
About two years ago Mr.. William
NJ. Murchisop, an honored and
worthy citizen of Medon, in this
county, had an attack of partial pa
ralysis, which has confined him to
his room the most of his time since.
Just fifty days ago from this writ
ing Thursday, his throat became
paralyzed so that he has never been
able to swallow food or drink since.
He is able to sit up, converses free
ly with his friends and boasts that
be has eclipsed Tanner in fasting.
He is totally blind, but does not
complain of hunger or thirst, and
shows no indications OF weakness
in consequence of his prolonged
fast of fifty days. This is certainly
the most remarkable case of endur-
ance without nourishment on record
